May I present you the P-42 (former T-10-15 Su-27 demonstrator modified to set time to climb records) in 1/144 scale. Base kit is Trumpeter, with some chopping done to align with the original airframe. Anything that was not essential to the [...]

1/72 IDEA F-89D Scorpion

by Gordon Zammit on June 23, 2020 · in Aviation · 15 ≡

This is a boxing by a company named IDEA, but it is essentially the Academy kit, I think, as I do not have the academy kit, but the sprues are the same as photos on the net of the Academy kit. Quite good fitting parts, but I decided to [...]

How a giant became a dwarf: C-124 Globemaster II from Roden

by Roland Sachsenhofer on June 5, 2020 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

The challenge of depicting such a huge aircraft as the Globemaster II on such a small scale as 1:144 is particularly fascinating for me. But the question of whether one could credibly represent the really big in the really small was only [...]

Swift

by Scott Nelson on January 20, 2020 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

by Scott Nelson on January 3, 2020 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

Inspired by the new-tool Airfix Vulcan, which I immediately put on pre-order the day that was possible, I pulled the GWH 1/144 Vulcan K. 2 out of the stash as my last build of 2019. On the whole it’s a nice kit for 1/144 scale. The [...]
